Inner Law and Booths

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Nehemiah scene, the 'chief of the fathers' gathering with Ezra mirrors the awakening I call the inner circle of consciousness gathering to understand the Law within. The law is not a stone parchment out there; it is the living, spoken word of your I AM, your present awareness, which refuses to ignore its own instruction. When they found written in the law that they should dwell in booths, notice that the revelation comes as a directive, not a suggestion. The inner man discovers that shelter is not a place but a state of being—an acknowledgment that even the seventh month, the time of festival, is a season when consciousness chooses to lean on divine provision rather than self-reliance. This is the discipline of obedience: align your attention with the law and you live in booths of temporary yet intimate dependence on your source. The commandment becomes practical seeing, a portable sanctuary you carry in mind as you move through daily tasks. The law is not distant; it is your current address when you affirm I am and dwell there.
